WAYLAND --- More than 200 students from the Islamic Center of Boston and Temple Shir Tikva bonded over bagels and activities as they traded notes about their lives.

Over breakfast, students were given handouts with questions to ask one another in order to help facilitate conversation and to get to know each other better.

The third through sixth graders respectfully talked with each other about religious customs, where they have traveled, sports and one conversation among 4th-grade girls about haircuts.

After breakfast, students worked in pairs on an art project. Each student traced their hand on a piece of paper. They wrote their partner’s name on their hand and one thing they learned about their partner. At the top of each page, students wrote: ICB & TST Hand-in-Hand Together.
